I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I am beyond thankful for this establishment. I went through several interviews of private daycares and large ones and I was led to Little Smiles with Big Dreams. I am beyond grateful for the family I received. From the continuous communication to the support of Potty Training. My twins have been at this day care for two years and I have had nothing but a positive experience. The director (Ms. Kisha) is beyond busy but pulls you in like a family member and provides an abundant amount of support from paperwork to parenting. I literally would have been lost without them in my village. I have loved all of their teachers since they have been there. When your child pulls away to run into the school or holds on to the teacher because they don't want to leave you know you're in the right place. Let's not forget how much they have learned and grown since attending this day care. If she has space and you need a place try them out. They are very understanding and supportive. Communicate your concerns or needs they are very accommodating.
